Deployed here in MAY 08...Started ROP on 1 NOV 08.

I welcome comments and questions, so PLEASE do. I wish I would have made the descision to use KB seriously sooner than deploying. Found them in 04 after tearing an Achilles Tendon and needing "Cardio" without the impact of running. They worked well, but I just didn't get serious with them then.

I am now...

24K: C&P Ladders 5 x sets to the 5th rung
I didn't have access to the 20K Bell that I did last week so used the 24K Bell. I REALLY felt my whole body throughout the movements. I feel like the 24K forces me to use whole body meaning proper tension (irradiation it's called if I remember) as well as locking my shoulder down seemed more automatic. I was able to get to the 5th rung on each ladder but it took determination. I like how I felt after. I guess that settles it, gonna order...

16K: VO2 Max 15:15 protocol 50 sets @ 6 reps per interval. Felt good, probably could have gotten 60 reps, but don't want to push too hard to fast.

24k: Cleans 5x5 TGU 5x1
The Cleans and TGUs were performed like a "superset" back to back then rested.

24K: Swings 3 x 10 reps L then R hand

24K: Snatches 3 x 8, 10, 5 reps. My grip concerned me alot. I'm not able to tell if it was more grip or tender hands from the VO2 workout from yesterday. I didn't really notice how rought the handle of the 24K is until now. Need to grind/sand it down some.
